I Rise Even Taller

by Wordsworth Gwary
(Nigeria)

When we fall & hard we fallDisgruntled memories invade the feeble mindJoy fades away & sorrow lingers onThe feeble minded bewitched by the alluring features of lifeEyes deceived by love's camouflage... Beauty & enchantment lies in what's hidden..For we are too blind to see what's realWe are blinded by our lust for what's fictionalThe beauty of life lies in its complexitiesEven more beautiful if you overcome its complexities...I fear not to fall hard & get bruisedFor I rise even taller after every fall

I've learnt never to live in regretsFor they only set u backI only look back on them to avoid repeating the same mistakes twice..No one is perfectI'm a perfectly imperfect soulThat's what makes me human..Striving to reach perfection keeps us going I learn from my perfect imperfections.. We are only natural by our imperfections. It only graces our minds back to realityWhen we fall and hard we fall sometimesFar from the life of fiction we led while we stood tall.Life is only telling us we are drifting from realityI fear not to fall, for I stand taller after rising from every fall.

We blossom in our painsTears and being disturbed interject one anotherThey remind us we are still humanWe dwindle in sorrowWe glow in joyHuman nature is what makes life complexLife is the mirror that reflects the trials and tribulations of manPain can be cruel to the eyeBut it reawakens the soulI shall fear not the pains as I fallI shall fear not to fallI shall rise & stand tall after every fall

Beneath the tears of a woman lie deep sorrowBehind the masked face of a disturbed manLies hidden tears & scars

We cannot outlive our designed years nor short-live themWe can remain fallen when we fall hardWe should fear not to tripWe should learn to stand taller after every fallWe should rise faster than when fallingFor we learn more about lifeWe learn more about the path we walk on after every fallI fall to rise taller after every fallI rise & stand even taller after every fall
